Zoom v line 6

[Leighrobertson]

My guitarist uses line 6. I'm needing a bass multi effects I've been looking at a line 6 floor pod or zoom b3 any thoughts

I don't think it's as simple as this vs. that and one reigns supreme but since you gave no info I'll say Zoom B3 because I own one.

If you are talking a dedicated bass device like bass pod xt versus zoom B3, I'd say Zoom. If you mean just for effects then it gets more complicated.

I've owned both because I like the flexibilty which modelling brings to the party. I used a Line 6 Bass Pod XT Live for a while and it was fine...until it developed a fault where the patches would turn themselves on or off at random.

In looking for a replacement I realised that I had been disenchanted with Line 6 for a while, because they had simply lost interest in producing products for bass and had left those of us who had spent good money on their products in a blind alley. I could have bought another Line 6 product, but even then - easily 2 years ago - the only option would have been to buy a device aimed at guitarists, spend extra for a 'bass pack' and essentially pay for a whole load of amp models and FX that I would never use.

So I bought a Zoom, which sounds a lot better and is easier to program.

Zoom B3 (ownership bias).
